The March international break reached its conclusion in the early hours of Wednesday morning.
Well over 200 Premier League players have been representing their countries over the last week.
As well as injury and illness being concerns regarding player availability in Gameweek 30, game-time is also a possible factor.
A more detailed look at everything on the fitness front will follow this article, so it is pitch-time we’re focusing more on here as we tot up how many minutes each FPL asset clocked up while on international duty.
As well as on-field exertions, long-haul flights back from further afield and late returns may also be a consideration ahead of Fantasy Premier League’s (FPL) resumption. With that in mind, we’ll also round up who the last players in midweek action were.
Accumulated gametime may be all the more noteworthy this time, as we get set for three Gameweeks in the space of a week.

ANY LATE RETURNEES?
The good news is that there were far fewer nations in action in North or South America this time. The likes of Brazil, Colombia and Uruguay were instead involved in friendlies in Europe.
Even some of the countries who did contest games on the other side of the Atlantic did so at the weekend, rather than Tuesday night/Wednesday morning.
So, not many late returns to the UK ahead of Gameweek 30.
Argentina were the only nation of Fantasy note who were in action in the Americas in the early hours of Wednesday morning:
| Country | Final match played in… (date/kick-off time in GMT) | Players (minutes played in final international match) |
| Argentina | Los Angeles, USA (Mar 27, 2.50am) | J. Alvarez (90), Romero (90), Enzo (82), Lo Celso (72), Garnacho (71), Mac Allister (60), E. Martinez (0), Barco (0), Buonanotte (0) |
